There was something inside of me that wanted to come out, I was just trying to live it. Why was it so difficult?
The young man loved and found himself in love. However, many love but lose themselves.
There is nothing in the world that one hates more than following the path that leads to oneself.
Togetherness is beautiful. But it can never be called a draw for the situation that we see growing up all over the place. A true togetherness will be born new, will result from individuals getting to know each other better, and will give another shape to the world for a while. What is now observed under the name of togetherness is simply a herd formation.
If people are running away from each other, it is because they are afraid of each other. Gentlemen take shelter among themselves, workers among themselves, scholars again among themselves, fleeing to each other and taking shelter. So why are they afraid of each other? A person who cannot come to terms with himself is afraid alone. If the present are afraid, it is because they do not want to know themselves.”
When we hate a person, we hate someone who burrows within ourselves and comes up with the image of that person. What is not in ourselves does not make us angry.
There is only one task that awaits the awakened people: to seek oneself, to gain firmness in oneself, to grope along the unique path, to ignore where the road will lead… This shook me deeply, it was the fruit of the life in question for me. I had often played with dreams of the future, perhaps the future roles that awaited me as a poet or a prophet, perhaps a painter, perhaps someone else. All this was nothing. I was not born to write poetry, preach, paint; neither I nor anyone else was on earth for such a purpose. These were all things that appeared in between and remained in the background. There was really only one occupation for everyone; finding yourself.
If a person is afraid of someone, it means that he has allowed someone to have control over him.
What we see outside is the same as what we see inside. There is no other truth but the truth that we carry within us. The reason why most people lead such an untrue life is that they regard the image outside of themselves as real and never give a voice to the world inside them. Yes, it can make people happy. But once a person becomes conscious of the matter, there is no question of choosing the path followed by the majority. My friend Sinclair, the path of the majority is easy, ours is difficult.
If someone absolutely needs something and takes possession of it, it is not accidental that makes it happen; himself, the desire and necessity within himself, took him to the relevant object.
Every man's life is a road that leads him to himself, a road test, a sketch of a road. No human has ever been one hundred percent himself, but still, everyone progresses as much as they can, some a little more open and some a little more blindfolded… We all come from the same depths, but as a sketch, as a creature coming out of the depths, each of us, as a creature from the depths, has our own We work hard to reach our goal. We can understand each other, but we can only explain and interpret ourselves.
We talk too much… These clever conversations are worth nothing. It takes people away from themselves, that's all… What needs to be done is to be able to enter and settle in, just like a turtle.
Outside there was 'reality', outside there were roads, houses, people, various institutions and organizations, libraries and classrooms – here, inside, there lived love and spirit, fairy tales and dreams.
No one can understand the stirring in the souls of others unless they live within themselves.
God is in man.
Those who do not want to take responsibility and think for themselves need a leader.
Love people, whether they are weak or harmful, but do not try to manipulate them.
At the same time, he saw that the people he loved and despised led a childlike or animal-like life. He saw them toil and toil; He saw that they suffered for money, small pleasures, small honors, bleached their hair, insulted each other for things that were not worth the price they paid in return, he saw that they were affected by the absence and deprivation that a strawman had never felt.
The majority of people are like a falling leaf, swept away by the wind, floating in the air, turning, staggering left and right, and landing on the ground. There are very few people, like the stars, they move in a certain orbit, no wind can reach them, they carry within themselves their own laws and the path they will follow. Only one person so far. He was also Buddha. It had excellent features.
It is better to taste the things that need to be known for oneself. As a child, I learned that worldly pleasures and worldly possessions do not bring any good to people. I've known for a while, but only now have I experienced it. And now I know, not with my memory, but with my eyes, with my heart, with my stomach. Glad I know now!
There is nothing in the past, nothing in the future; everything exists only in the present moment.
Oh, wasn't all the suffering and grief time? Are all the toils, all the fears, all the difficulties in the world, all the hostilities, not erased, not defeated?
Soft is stronger than hard; the water is stronger than the rock; love is stronger than tyranny.
Wisdom cannot be told to another; Wisdom that a sage tries to convey to others sounds like something stupid.
Information can be passed on to someone else; no wisdom. Wisdom can be discovered, wisdom can be lived, wisdom can carry, miracles can be created with wisdom, but wisdom cannot be told or taught.
A person can never be wholly holy or wholly sinful. It looks like this because we are mistaken, looking at time as a real object. Time is not real. If time is not real, the line that seems to exist between the world and eternity, pain and happiness, evil and good is nothing but an illusion.
I have no words for what constitutes one's treasure and wisdom always sounds silly to another.
The vast majority of people do not want to swim without learning how to swim. What a meaningful word, right? It is natural that they do not want to swim, because they were created to live on land, not swim. And it is natural that they do not want to think, because they were created to live, not to think! Yes, whoever thinks, who makes thinking his main occupation, can reach an advanced point in this; However, such a person has exchanged land and water, and one day he will drown in the water.
If you like it, if I'm valuable to you, I create a mirror for you; There is something in me that responds to you, understands you.
